Employee Profile of 12 Different Signs

04-01-2004, 07:17 PM

Aries Employee Profile
==================

Aries employees make excellent troubleshooters.

They'll usually want to be out in the field at a
variety of
different
work sites fixing things. They certainly won't be
happy for very
long behind a desk in a 9 to 5 schedule.

The bored Aries employee who has been forced into a
square
hole will typically be restless, angry, and careless
with details.
No amount of money would compensate for being stuck in
a
routine job. Money in fact isn't why they are working
at all.
They do want to be paid fairly and need a status
position to
satisfy their competitive tendencies--
but even more importantly, they'll want challenging
new
projects. They typically like to have a sense of
responsibility
and need to feel needed. In return, they'll give their
all and
provide detailed, consistent work. They will literally
work
themselves to exhaustion to prove themselves.

If you want to keep your Aries co-worker productive
and happy,
you'll want to give them the opportunity to work
independently
or let them help and lead less experienced workers.

index
Taurus Employee Profile
===================

Taureans make some of the best employees. They are
loyal,
hardworking, and no-nonsense. They work methodically
and
follow projects through until they are complete. Some
may
appear to work a little too slowly-usually because
they are so
careful-but they will always finish what they start.
They thrive on
structure, schedules, and routine. You'll find them
doing the
same exact thing at the same time every day.

Taureans, however, are not exactly the malleable
workers that
they often appear to be. If they have to work in a
chaotic
environment, they won't be happy and will be prone to
child-like
temper tantrums and stubbornness. They might react
similarly if
they have to work around ignorant people or at a job
where
there is no obvious potential for advancement.

Taureans will be very unhappy if there isn't a ladder
for them to
climb. Even in the worst situations, they will find a
way to
advance slowly, winning over the most difficult people
who
may stand in their way of progress.

Taurus employees will only take so much patiently and
happily
before they feel they are being taken advantage of.
They will
gladly accept orders and do whatever dirty work needs
to get
done, but they expect rewards. They want material
gain, salary
increases, and the potential for more power.

To make your Taurus employees happy, be sure to give
them
projects through which they will see tangible
results-hopefully
something that will allow them to express their unique
creativity
in addition to their practical side. They don't want
to feel mired
in details for long periods of time.

Make sure to schedule regular performance and salary
reviews.
This show of respect should keep them loyal to the
company.

index
Gemini Employee Profile
===================

Gemini employees can have difficulty concentrating on
one
thing for long periods of time. They have quick-moving
minds
and love to talk and communicate their ideas with
others.
They thrive on social interaction -- even if their
jobs don't
particularly support it. You'll be able to find them
wandering
from desk to desk gossiping about all the sordid news
in the
office. They can be powerful persuaders in their
speech and
make ideal salespeople and mediators. They love to
nego-
tiate and can work out the best Deal for everyone
involved.

When properly stimulated, they can manage to keep
their
wandering mind focused and actually be quite
productive.
When they are bored, bogged down with mundane detail-
work, or forced to work with people who they consider
droll,
they can become mean-spirited and gossipy. Their moods
can fluctuate vastly day to day, as well as their
productivity.

It is really against their nature to be forced into an
average
workday schedule and environment. They are happier
traveling.
lf they are in an office they will need constant new
stimulation.

Most will be wanting advancement if they see this as a
way to
escape the limitations of their jobs. This can
motivate them to
put extra effort into their job. If you work with a
Gemini, try to
avoid getting into any debates with them - they will
surely
win and it could end in some hard feelings on your
part. They
will need an accepting environment-one that supports
their
need for multi-tasking.

index
Cancer Employee Profile
====================

The Cancer employee isn't at work to feed his ego --
their
job is just a job and a means to get paid. They work
steadily
and are usually very reliable and loyal. You'll be
able to depend on them
to show up on time and do what is necessary. They
won't get
involved in power struggles or get upset when someone
advances before them. They are able to accept the
situation
because they see it simply as a rung on the ladder up.
Their
motivation is security and they are rational in
behaviour.
They are the best to understand the nature
and urgency of a situation just because they are
sensitive.

But they'll want more money the longer they've stayed
at a job.
Not for being rich but that gives them security that
company respects
their presence.

They are generally very intuitive and can actually
foresee a
coming opportunity or a coming problem. Best of these
employees
is that when they work, they work as if that is their
own company.
So they keep thinking about how to run their business,
which is very
well supported by their never ending inquisitiveness.

Don't press them to reveal their
true inner thoughts-their tendency is to be secretive
and
protective, and they could see prying as an attempt to
disturb their security. They go deep in their shell of
a crab
inside them during blue moods and that’s dangerous
enough to spoil
the moods of others around them. Sometimes they
themselves allow
their personal problems occupy their minds during
office hours too.
Again the same reason, their emotions and
sensitiveness.

index
Leo Employee Profile
=================

Leo workers want to be first and at the center of the
office.
Even if they can't lead, they'll look for every
opportunity to
increase their own status -- and if someone else seems
ahead of them, look out. They will make it clear that
they
aren't happy by pouting and complaining. They want
advancement so much that they'll take on more respon-
sibility and carry a heavier load than anyone else
does in
the office. And they are self-promoters. It is likely
that they
are telling everyone in the office what a great job
they are
doing as well as giving everyone unwanted advice.

They know they are superior and want everyone to know
it
as well. This arrogance can sometimes cause problems
when working with management. But typically, they are
just
hard workers out to demonstrate just how good they
really are.

They thrive in sales positions - they can promote a
product
or company just as well as they promote themselves.

Their strength and arrogance isn't just show either.
In a crisis
situation, Leos really demonstrate their true courage.

Leos want to lead and will be pushing for more
responsibility
and rewards. They are happy to train and mentor new
co-
workers as they enjoy giving advice and being in
positions of
authority.

If you are trying to manage a Leo employee, you'll
need to
give them plenty of praise, responsibility, and
independence.
They will certainly want to help lighten your load of
manage-
ment responsibilities. Just be careful- the next thing
you know
they could be taking over your job.

index

Virgo Employee Profile
==================

In the right situations Virgos love to work. They make
ideal
emloyees, happily working late into the night to make
sure
everything is perfect and in order. If you are looking
for an
employee who doesn't mind starting from rock bottom in
the
most entry-level position at the company, hire a
Virgo.

They'll have no complaints about the position being
beneath
them. They are CONTENT with basic, honest hard work.
Their contentment isn't always apparent, however.

They love to complain and worry. They are quick to
criticize
the way things are done around the office and are the
first
ones to grumble disapprovingly at what they consider
to be
extravagance or laziness. They are blunt and honest
and
don't mince words over what they feel just isn't
right.

Usually, this will be brought on by someone doing a
half-
baked job or not being considerate of other
co-workers.

You'll want to constantly reassure them, but this will
do little to
quell their anxieties. They actually enjoy worrying,
and there
is little you can do about it. Just give them a detail
- oriented
project and let them work alone on it. You won't have
to
supervise a Virgo worker. They'll check all the facts
before
getting started and catch their own errors when they
are done.

To keep a Virgo employee happy, you should also make
sure
their environment is orderly and calm. You should also
provide
small gestures of appreciation. They don't need
extravagance,
just let them know you appreciate them in small ways
that
won't embarrass them. They will probably just shrug
their
shoulders and say, "It's no big deal." But deep down
inside
they need these little reassurances.

index
Libra Employee Profile
==================

Libra employees are detailed, dedicated workers with
sensitive natures. Managers and co-workers sometimes
find them difficult to get a handle on. They pick up
the
energy of the office and are unable to prevent it from
affecting them. Loud noise, flashy colors, and
discordant
vibrations will put them off so much that they will
have
difficulty fulfilling their obligations at work.

One day they may seem like the most bright,
hardworking,
ambitious employee around. The next day they might be
down, irritated, and unable to produce. Co-workers
shouldn't fret when Libra employees are in a dark
mood.
It really won't last, as a happy state of mind can
come over
them just as quickly. When Libra employees are in a
balanced frame of mind, they can be a powerful
presence
at work-they have a way of gracing everything they
touch.
Underneath that mess of moods, they really are
basically
happy and stable people. They are capable of profound
logical thought and evaluate all sides of a situation
before
acting. They are one of the most intelligent Signs
around.

They are expert researchers and mediators. And their
sensitivity to their environment makes them naturals
at
keeping things looking great. They will easily help
others
resolve conflicts and can act as a go-between with
workers
and management so that everyone ends up happy.

If you want to keep your Libran worker smiling, give
them
the respect they are due and put them in a position
where
they can project their great charm and diplomacy. They
won't be CONTENT to take orders for very long, either-
make sure they are given increased responsibility.

index
Scorpio Employee Profile
====================

Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet
self-confidence. They
are self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a
sense of
self-worth. They keep their private life separate from
work and
take complete responsibility for their actions and
their situation.
They don't make excuses; they just take care of
business and
expect everyone else to do the same. Those who don't,
co-
workers and managers- will have to endure the Scorpio
wrath.

They don't mind being completely vocal about what they
feel is
wrong with any given situation. And if you tread on
their fire be
sure to expect retaliation. They won't take insults or
opposition
lying down.

If you manage a Scorpio employee, be sure to follow
through
with your word and don't break any promises-Scorpio is
keeping track and building up some heavy resentments
against you if you do. You may not even be aware of it
until
too late-but when Scorpio gets too much, you'll be
sure to
know.

Scorpio employees will react towards those around them
exactly as they are treated. When they get what they
want,
they will be very accepting.

If you are trying to work with or motivate a Scorpio
co-worker,
be sure to treat them respectfully and act
professionally.
Give them challenging work that allows them to utilize
their
awesome self-confidence and courage.

index
Sagittarius Employee Profile
======================

The Sagittarian employee is head strong, cheerful, and
willing
to help. They exude self-confidence and take on tasks
like
there's no tomorrow. They are willing to tackle even
the
toughest of projects as long as it is challenging and
gets them
out of the routine. Lucky for them, their shining
personalities
and honest enthusiasm seem like a bright spot in the
office-
otherwise co-workers might begin to build animosity
towards
someone so arrogant and extravagant.

Their tendency to exaggerate and take on more then
they can
handle usually results in missed deadlines and
dropping the
ball-not because they are lazy of procrastinate, but
because
their enthusiasm just gets the better of them
sometimes.
Don't let their nonchalance fool you-they really do
care about
what they are doing. They just have an easy-going
attitude
that allows them to keep on smiling even when they
just
messed up big time.

Just because they are flexible and easy-going doesn't
mean
they won't tell you exactly how they feel-what is
working for
them and what isn't. And they won't just blindly take
orders -
they need to understand the method and reason behind
the
process.

If you are trying to motivate your Sagittarian
employee, be
sure to feed them plenty of challenging new projects
and
hint that some business trips might be on the horizon
once
deadlines are met.

And whatever you do, try not to question their
intentions-
it is the quickest way to make them upset. They aren't
capable of deceit.

index
Capricorn Employee Profile
======================

A Capricorn employee with too much to do is a happy
worker.

They need plenty of projects and responsibility. There
is no
sadder sight than a Capricorn worker without a sense
of
responsibility. They need to be needed. They are
covertly
ambitious - usually not flashy or obvious about it-but
you will
usually know that they are serious and determined
about
advancing themselves.

They are completely scrupulous, so much so that they
can be
self-disparaging. But they are no pushovers. They can
wear
down even the toughest customers. Their persistence is
incredible. Once they set their sights on a goal, they
work
away at it until the bitter end-whether the goal be
that hard
sell or the new hardware release.

Capricorns don't work for free, however. They expect
to be
paid handsomely and be given more and more
responsibility.
They need to come out ahead of the pack in the end,
and
they see the work environment as their primary
vehicle.

They won't go in for the typical office gossip and
politics, though.

They want to get down to business at work and see it
as no
place for fooling around.

With a strong sense of duty and respect towards their
superiors,
it is rare they will join in on boss-bashing or
knocking the system.

They can get frustrated, however, with blue sky
management
schemes that lack common sense, and they will
interject their
dry sense of humor in the most critical ways.

If they want change, they will be unyielding. If all
their effort
leads to naught the result will be deep moods of
darkness and
depression with a sense of hopelessness.

Keep your Capricorn employee happy by paying them
fairly
and giving them plenty of hard work. Arrange for a
path of
advancement within your organization for them. If you
don't,
you might find them looking for other opportunities.

index
Aquarius Employee Profile
=====================

The Aquarius employee can't tolerate unfairness in the
office.

Hair brained schemes will get the positive attention
they
deserve if an Aquarian has anything to do with it.
They'll try
to help everyone see the good side of a bad situation
if it's
the last thing that they do. They are so smart-they
can't help
but hold management in disdain if they feel that they
are
being unfair and unintelligent. It isn't that they are
overly
ambitious and think they could be doing a better job-
just
that they think people in power should know better.

Most Aquarius workers are still looking for themselves
and
will want to try their hand at a variety of jobs in
the workplace.
Whatever they are doing, they will do conscientiously.

They usually have strict personal codes that include a
strong
work ethic. Their bright, off-beat intelligence, and
trustworthi-
ness will typically gain them many friends-in and out
of work.

Beneath that sometimes odd-ball behavior is solid,
concrete
thinking and sensitivity to co-workers. Keep your
smart
Aquarius co-worker happy by giving them plenty of
opportunity
to learn news kills.

Raises are less important to them. No amount of money
will
make it worth their while to stay in a stagnant
position. Don't
let them get too bored or they will simply find
another job as
easily as they found this one-their genius is easy to
spot.

index
Pisces Employee Profile
===================

The Pisces employee can be a loyal and hard-working,
if
unconventional, worker. In the right position, they
are able to
keep their daydreams in check and buckle down on the
detail work-giving their all to the boss and
corporation whom
they feel are worthy of devotion.

On the flip side, there is no image of extreme misery
like that
of an ill-placed Pisces worker. They will act as
though their
cubicle were a prison cell as they daydream of their
own
business or next vacation.

Unhappy Pisces workers usually won't stick around too
long.
Often Pisceans will drift from one job to another
looking for
that ideal environment to which they will be able to
commit
and feel a sense of purpose. And if things are going
in a bad
direction at the office, Pisces will be the first to
sense it.
They'd rather pick up and leave then wait until the
problem
reaches a head. Pisces are often misunderstood by
their
co-workers.

Typically timid and introspective, they usually keep
their true
nature hidden, for fear it wouldn't fit with the
corporte culture.
What motivates a Pisces employee to not only stick
around
but also excel? Try compliments. And show them how
their
work impacts the entire organization.

They need to know that what they are doing is worth
something on a grander scale. Acceptance of their
unconventional organization and planning will be
necessary.
Just because their sales report isn't in the typical
format
doesn't mean it is any less effective. Keep their
environment
bright and upbeat; and an after-work cocktail wouldn't
hurt.
